Overview

• The channel went live Monday 1 September at 18:00 on TNT 19 after Arcom reassigned frequencies formerly used by C8 and NRJ12.
• Its weekday schedule opens with On a de l'info at 18:10, a roughly 15-minute bulletin from Rennes presented by Martin Cangelosi.
• The 18:25 talk show On a du nouveau is hosted from Paris by Claire Arnoux with contributors including Claude Askolovitch.
• Early coverage of opening night praised the talk show's pace and presentation and noted visible nerves and uneven rhythm in the first newscast.
• Novo19 is carried on major operator boxes, MyCanal and Molotov, with streaming and replay on novo19.fr, and it targets a 2% 25–49 audience share on a €30 million programming budget toward break-even in three to four years.
